image stretched in compressor
I’m trying to compress my fcp sequences, but for some reason everytime I export to compressor, the image is stretched horizontally. I haven’t changed any settings that I know of.
Sequence settings:
Frame size 720X480 NTSC (3:2)
Pixel Aspect Ratio NTSC CCIR DV 720/480When I change the frame size the entire sequence needs rendering and the image in the canvas is inside 2 black bars kinda like widescreen. Even if I render it, then compress it– compressor still stretches the image only this time with the black bars.
I don’t even know if it’s a compressor issue or a fcp issue. The former sequences from the same project I compressed looked fine. But now even when I try to compress those sequences again they are stretched too- which makes me think I accidentally changed a fcp setting somewhere.
Last clue that I know of:
In compressor if you look at the A/V Attributes in the inspector, the “Encoded Bounds” do not match the “Display Bounds” but I have no idea how to make that happen.I’m lost. I just want to make a video without fat faces.

Sounds like a problem with your Compressor Preset. Make sure your format in compressor matches your sequence dimensions/aspect ratio. You can modify any preset to the proper settings.

I don’t know how to change the format in Compressor or the compressor preset- could you tell me how to do that?
I can export “Using Quicktime Conversion,” and change the dimensions so the image is not stretched. However when I do this I lose more quality than going through Compressor.
I’m trying to compress a 9 minute project at the highest quality possible that will be around 100MB-150MB –MP4 or .mov file. I also want the m2v file + ac3 for DVD. I only know how to get these through Compressor, but again it’s stretching my images now.
much thanks
